A 3½-4 hours tour or 4½-5 hours walking tour combined with tram rides. In this tour, I will tell you the story of the Netherlands and Amsterdam through the local architecture in the different eras, the buildings themselves, the interior layout of the houses and apartments according to the style of the time and the social-economic situation of the tenants, who were the house owners, building methods and the urban planning. I will tell you how it all began, about the development and the economic, social and political forces that influenced the architecture and about future plans. In this tour, we will go through the different eras; medieval, the Dutch golden age, the beginning of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.

I am passionate about architecture and that’s why I specialize in architecture photography, interiors and exteriors.

A photography workshop suitable for all levels of photography with cameras and smartphones. During the workshop we will learn and practice, in a practical and simple way, in a fun and pleasant atmosphere, how to approach street and urban photography, and how to take travel photos. You can choose a photography workshop during the day or in low light, the length of the workshop, and the day and time and I will curate the perfect workshop especially for you.

You will finish the workshop with photography tips and tricks that you can use in the future as well as with a bunch of great photos you took, a wonderful souvenir from Amsterdam, that will impress your friends and family.

Consider the photos you took during your last vacation: the adorable one of the kids in front of that fountain turned out blurry, the romantic shot of you and your partner got invaded by a rogue thumb over the lens, and that memorable friends’ pic the guide took on your mobile phone didn’t quite capture the moment. What a shame!

Let me take top quality photos of you, your family and friends, of your surprise marriage proposal, engagement and love photo shoot with the most beautiful backdrops of Amsterdam. You will also learn a bit about the history, culture and life in Amsterdam along the way.
